Not a fan of the three watches listed but if I had to choose one for free it would be the LV.

The same for me.
But my choice would be for the DSSD, unless I could have the LV with a black bezel.

Even though I tried one on last week and it looked funny on my skinny wrist, I'd still go with the DSSD because of the functionality and cool lume. I bet I could get used to the size over time. It is a HUGE watch but still beautiful IMO

can you fit a black insert in a LV bezel? It was my understanding that rolex slightly made the green bezel insert larger on the LV so people couldn't swap them into standard subs

DSSD all the way. Although I want a LV I wouldn't swap the DSSD for anything. As for the GV, i haven't even worn it yet ?

Tough choice, but it'd be the LV by a whisker for me

Hi,
It is the easiest way of getting a Maxi dial on a Sub
